I have these all over my pumpkin. They're not on my cukes or zucs or watermelon. They're not 'stink bugs' because when I squished one it smelled exactly like cinnamon! What can that be?

That appears to be an immature Squash Bug (they love pumpkins). I've never sniffed one myself but may do so to check out the cinnimon.
